cURLd - Using P2P web protocols on the command line
I created a personal project called Insomnia Project. Well, I have some nights that I just can't sleep. But I'm still functional on those nights. So I decided to create Open Source Projects with this "extra" time.
Ths first project is cURLd. It wants to be a cURL compatible CLI, but for the distributed web.
For now it only accepts simple GET requests, but already supports:
- Hyper
- IPFS
- Gemini (I know it's not distributed, but I like it and it's here)
This idea comes from a discord chat about Agregore Browser and other possibles uses for the fetch interface that RangerMauve created for it. So I just slurped the interface and glued it in a CLI way. It's unpolished and rough. But stable enough to play.
You can install it easilu as npm install -g curld
and to get something you can use curld ipns://ipfs.io
